why is my team not there?

NVM – Answered my own question.

Mike.4830:

why is my team not there?

You have me blocked in game otherwise I could clear this up?

Looking forward to the event and the stream!

Also deathly curious to find out who is on the LUX Llamas team…. lol… some of these team names XD…

Edited the qualifiers to reflect a mistake on my part. Backpack’s team was overlooked due to an error of judgment on my end. Mistake is fixed! Sorry Backpack!

With the disbanding of Outplayed and a lot of old players coming back from ToL 1, we def have the most diverse grouping of players Ive ever seen. Cant wait to get this rolling!

Backback get out of my pool ]:< No children allowed.

^^^^^^^^^Rosters as they stand as of tonight. Bracket was seeded before this update.

REMEMBER TEAMS: YOU HAVE UNTIL 24 HOURS BEFORE YOUR FIRST MATCH TO FILL THE HOLES/MAKE ANY CHANGES YOU WANT ON YOUR ROSTERS!

So glad to have full rosters for all teams available!

Except now my stomach hurts looking at the players in pool 2 >_<

Agreed lux! That was one of our weaker brackets as well, take a look at weekend 2! The greatest challenge was accommodating every team’s needs in terms of scheduling. LOTS of teams could only play sunday The logic behind the seeding system we used was only have the battle haha Full explanation of the seeding and the brackets for Q1 and Q2 are inbound. The brackets are done, just want to have the seeding full explained before releasing em.

The refreshing part about this is seeing so many familiar names. At face value it seems like a lot of the pve/wvw teams ended up not signing up though.

This should be a pretty interesting tournament. Hope to see shoutcasting like when you guys did the one tol2 Qualifier!

I hope to see better, more prepared shout casting personally Thanks Lux, good luck!

Qualifier #3 looks really…packed.

Qualifier #3 looks really…packed.

A result of scheduling conflicts unfortunately.

Regardless of scheduling, I am certain that you guys will be quite surprised at how cutthroat this thing is going to get in these qualifiers. Having done extensive research on every single team with any sort of history in competitive PvP in Guild Wars 2, I am absolutely stoked for some otherwise unknown teams to potentially come up and beat down some of the teams we have become familiar with as of late.

Before every qualifier, I will be doing a “Teams To Look Out For” segment to touch on a few of these standouts that most people may not have known about otherwise.
(Examples of these types of teams: No Clue, Angelic Synergy / Team Holy, etc.)

Personally, Im excited for a returning TDM. A slightly dif roster but a group of high level players is returning to the competitive scene! Had some of those players been at the MP weeklies or the ToL2 this summer, I wouldnt have been surprised if they were rated higher. They havent had much practice as a team recently though, so wiping of the rust may be hard for em. But if they can get re attuned to the current meta? Q4 is just as packed as the Q3

Yeah and that’s only the tip of the iceberg.
Looking at Qualifier #1 and #2 this weekend, you have:
Hashtag Believe with names like Avitori & Necitor and other very accomplished players
Sharks With Lazers, a team that has been fighting for recognition with loads of fervor
Olrun’s Team Teamwork
Europe and Asia, a reformation of NA ToL2 combatants, Japan Thailand Croatia
Night Shade in June, a dominating force in NA Team Queue
Radioactive, one of the most dominating and prolific teams queuing recently
Arkangeles, NA ToL2 Top 8 Finalist
Evil Villains with Marvin and members from a top team in ToL2
Cognitive Gaming with Backpack, winner of ToL2 and The People’s 2v2 Tournament
Seraphs of Fortuna, Lux Fortuna’s team

And even still, there are more that deserve to be talked about!

Can’t wait to see how it all unfolds this weekend
